Sensing an opportunity to get some attention from celebrity news sitesdefend her sister, newlywed Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is even getting in on the gossip action.

Ash sounded off on Jess' weight on her MySpace page:

"Since when did a woman's weight become newsworthy... I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News."

"All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms. Just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard. Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it."

"How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure? Can we focus on things that really matter. - Ash"
